William Herzog, MSPH, professor emeritus of health policy and management at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, died Jan. 30 at Carol Woods Retirement Community in Chapel Hill, N.C. He was 84.

During the 1970s, Herzog directed the off-campus Master of Public Health program in what was then the School’s Department of Health Administration. In 1987, he received the McGavran Award for Teaching Excellence.
